Calgary-Nose Hill was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. The district was mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting.
The electoral district was created in the 2004 boundary redistribution from portions of Calgary-Foothills, Calgary-North Hill and Calgary-Nose Creek. With the riding being named after Nose Hill Park in Calgary.
The electoral district was created from parts of three different riding's in the 2004 boundary redistribution. The first election held in 2004 saw Progressive Conservative candidate Neil Brown pickup the district with under half of the popular vote. He defeated a field of four other candidates.
Brown stood for re-election against four other candidates in the 2008 general election. He was returned to power with a slight increase in his popular vote but still won under 50%.
Voters had the option of selecting 4 Candidates on the Ballot
On November 19, 2004 a Student Vote was conducted at participating Alberta schools to parallel the 2004 Alberta general election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. The vote was conducted in 80 of the 83 provincial electoral districts with students voting for actual election candidates. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.
